TSL color space

Let's imagine that colors are like toys in a toy box. There are many different types of toys, like dolls, cars, and blocks. When we want to talk about colors, we need to put them in a box too. The TSL color space is one of these boxes.

TSL stands for "Hue, Saturation, and Lightness." These are three important things that describe how a color looks. Let’s take a look at each of them:

1. Hue: Imagine that you have a bunch of different color markers, like red, green, and blue. The hue tells you what color the marker is and where it is in the box.

2. Saturation: When you use a marker to color on paper, sometimes the color is very bright and strong, and other times it's light and faded. This is called saturation. It tells us how much color is in the paper.

3. Lightness: If you hold up a piece of paper to a light, it might look very bright and white. But if you hold it in a darker room, it might look a little gray. This is called lightness. It tells us how bright or dark the color is.

So, when we use the TSL color space, we can describe any color using these three characteristics: hue, saturation, and lightness. Think of it like a recipe for making a specific color. By using the right amount of hue, saturation, and lightness, you can create any color that you want!
